Bellingham Wedding Photographers-1

Hairspray shots are fun and beautiful and and quirky addition to the Getting Ready portion of the day. But usually they are standalone - i.e. there are not enough other elements contributing to make them strong compositions. So sometimes we will add other elements to make them interesting. Here, though, I only had to shift myself around to incorporate those three lights into the frame and position the backlit hairspray as its own bonus light. Combine that with the face of the makeup artist and we have a beautiful balance of five bright areas. And of course just enough light touching the foreground face of Emily for us to have context to the bride! One of my favorite hairspray shots ever!
